Respectfully, i have done no such thing. I said very early on in this thread where i stood and that i do some what amazingly agree with Padfoot. I may not agree with the way he puts it or his clear lack of respect for players but i do agree that advantage should be applied with caution.

@GraemeS i dont think at any point over this whole debate has he said, "Dont ever play advantage". The point he is trying to make is be careful and selective and take into account ability of the players when doing so. Just like we take other things into account when deciding to allow an...

Nope those two things are completely different in every way.

The first time @Padfoot voiced his opinion on advantage i was like many of you, what the hell are you talking about? However as time has gone on and i have become more experienced i actually agree with him on this. I found myself giving advantages that simply weren't there. I have also seen...

But FIFA would never do such a thing, they could never enforce a player or group of players to partake in any form of silence/remembrance. Likewise if you as a referee chose not to take part then that to is your personal choice and FIFA, FA, County, nobody could do anything about it.

@jamie0114 see this thread http://www.refchat.co.uk/threads/minute-of-silence-before-a-game.9859/

Just out of interest, if you as a referee report it then what can be done? I am not saying dont report it but i am guessing that it would achieve diddly squat. It is after all a persons right to observe or not observe and no league or FA could dispute that.

Oh dear oh dear, i hope you lot are better at refereeing than thinking up jokes!!!!! :D:D:D:clown::clown::wtf:

I had really hoped this thread was dead by now. OK you keep doing it your way but like i have said time and time again i will follow the advice i have been given.

I agree and i am not a Chelsea fan either but personally i had no problem with his send off, even if he is a ...............................

Allegedly in 1999 Steve Bruce agreed a deal with Chelsea to buy him for £250,000 when he was manager of Huddersfield. Terry said no im not going i want to try and make a career here. How different things could have been if thats true. Dont really like him but i cant help but admire him for what...

You forgot his penalty slip in Moscow...........

What a strange thread. What would possibly make you want to say no? Whether it is for a player, an earthquake, a terrorist attack or the home team captains hamster. It is a mark of respect, something that referee's bang on about all day long. Again, i dont really care when i am asked, the day...

I know that but whilst i am given that advice by PGMOL match officials and coaches then i am going to take it and follow it.

Please dont take offence as my comment was not intended to offend at all, apologies if it seemed that way. Whilst there has been no directive publicly distributed by the FA i know that the guidance given to PGMOL officials is to not allow quick free kicks around the box. Hence why you just dont...

@Russell Jones I suppose if i was in that hypothetical scenario then i would have to allow the goal as you rightly say i would have no grounds to disallow it. I make dam sure i am never in that hypothetical scenario though.

@Peter Grove this article is almost 16 years old!!!!!!!

In a word, no. Nobody is expecting it, the goalkeeper is not ready. That for me doesn't sit right.

Its like de ja vu, this topic has been discussed many times and my view has not changed. If its around the box and potentially a goal scoring opportunity then you aint taking it quick. That video above, not happening, not when i am refereeing. Say what you want. @CapnBloodbeard as for throw your...

Jeepers, it was just an example of a frowned upon post. I didn't really expect to get into a debate regarding employment law..........
